Due to accessibility concerns, tables should generally only be used to list complex data that could not be listed in any other way.
Tables can be useful, but must always be carefully implemented in order to ensure accessibility and usability across a wide variety of devices.


Tables are also used on cargo pages and selectively on project and help pages.
This section is about tables used in the bodies of articles, and not about tables implemented as infoboxes or navboxes, which follow separate guidelines.


Tables should be avoided for layout or presentation purposes, except when absolutely necessary (such as for navboxes, or infoboxes).
